Black Chintzes.

With the black painted English furniture, whicn is again somewhat in favor for American houses, there is being used the background chintzes and cretonnes, on which the same garlands, flower baskets, festoons and medallions that decorate the furniture are profusely scattered., Other hangings which are used with the painted furniture are those of printed linens which should have light backgrounds, says the New York Herald, and so remove the objection that some may find to the background chintzes. * The old designs may be matched exactly in the chintzes and linens, and in addition to their use as hangings these fabrics are used for the loose cushions which are needed to make the cane and rush seated chairs comfortable.
